I am incapable of writing
So don't try to convince me that
I possess countless poetic ideas.
Because at the end of the day,
I see only failures in every attempt.
And I'm not about to lie by saying that
each setback helps me along.
Because no matter what,
I feel trapped in a cycle of mediocrity.
And I am in no position to believe that
true inspiration dwells within me.
For even in my darkest musings,
Am I as uninspired as my doubts proclaim?

Backwards poems are so fun to write! They take away my writer's block!
